CSS 'frames' are not the same as HTML frames. A CSS frame is an 
element that has been styled to remain in a fixed position in 
relation to the viewport. You can't simply just load an external 
document into a CSS frame since it isn't one - it's just a regular 
element.

You could use an iframe as part of your setup (see 
http://www.fu2k.org/alex/css/frames/iframe for details) but this 
raises the issue of what happens if someone stumbles on your pages 
outside of the iframe.

(Alternatively you could use xmlhttprequest or iframe-based remote 
scripting to load the additional pages, but the same problem applies)

So your best bet is to wrap all your pages with the CSS frames. Or 
not use them at all.
